Jimmy Dee
one of the original rock 'n' roll artists
Forty years later, when parted are those who were singing then,
and you look back in dream-like wonder, what you were like back in the day.
Then, it may be, they will come back to you, glimpses of notes from an old song,
visions of youth floating before them, echoes of dreamland shall bear them along,
and for a few moments you are young again. All this in the notes of an old song.
Jimmy Dee began performing at the age of 10 and by the age of 12 was appearing regularly in lounges and clubs and released his first record. He appeared live on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand TV program performing his first hit record. Biography link

Expertly performing traditional rock, pop, and doo wop, Jimmy Dee provided it all, with the great sound, lights, and action expected from a seasoned professional entertainer. He and his band did much more than just play great music… they entertained audiences with their fantastic choreography, Jimmy’s acrobatic drumming and hilarious stage antics… not to mention his performance of the great songs of the Fab Fifties and the Sensational Sixties. “It’s an Oldies Act worth waiting for…” said a recent client.
